At Babson, our mission is to educate entrepreneurial leaders who create great economic and social value – everywhere. As Babson students, you will have tremendous opportunities to utilize your business education in a career that has a positive impact in the world. As with all paths in life, a social impact career is not limited to a singular path. Today, finding a path you love that also makes a positive difference is more accessible than ever. Companies across nearly every industry are shifting to more impact-conscious practices. Your options and paths are limitless — doing good for the world is far easier than it used to be. The good news is that careers in social impact aren’t only found in nonprofit organizations. Simply put, social impact careers are any roles that make a difference and positively affect society — whether locally, nationally, or globally. Social impact jobs have a strong focus on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These 17 goals address global challenges and are meant to inspire people and organizations to take action to create a more sustainable and equitable future.
